ALSO Youth Supply Drive
As ALSO Youth grows, so does the number of youth they serve — and the need to keep their centers stocked with essential supplies and snacks. This November and December, SarasotaOUT.com is challenging the community to take part in our annual Snack & Supply Drive for ALSO Youth. It’s a meaningful way for your team, business, family, or group of friends to make a real difference by supporting LGBTQ+ youth. Please consider bringing items to the November G2H2. Members who bring items will receive an extra door prize ticket!
